Tottenham Hotspur qualified for the round of 16 of the Champions League after coming from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw against Barcelona at the Nou Camp on Tuesday. The result means they finish second in Group B at the expense of Inter Milan.
Barcelona were without Lionel Messi. Their side, having already qualified in first place, started without their talismanic star. The goal that got everyone talking was the Ousmane Dembele goal in the seventh minute after he completed an astonishing run and strike.
However, despite his wonder strike against Tottenham, Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde still believes that Dembele's case has not being closed. Dembele was fined £90,000 for turning up late for training earlier in the week. This is what Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde had to say on Dembele:
"He has made a great goal, possible for players with his talent," said the Barca boss.
"We are happy with him and we said that throughout the season things happen that we try to solve internally.
"We hope that he and the rest will continue to give us much joys.
"I do not know [if the case is closed], tomorrow we have training."
Arsenal fans took to Twitter to urge Unai Emery to sign the former Borussia Dortmund winger:
Even Arsenal striker and the EPL top goal scorer Pierre Emerick Aubameyang took to Twitter to express his delight at his former teammate's wonder goal against Tottenham in the Champions League.
This was Pierre Emerick Aubameyang's reaction on Twitter:
Mauricio Pochettino was pleased with his side hard-fought 1-1 draw at Camp Nou and believes his side probably deserved more from the game.
He said:"I always believed it was possible to win the game. We produced a lot of chances.
"But after we missed so many we thought maybe it was not our night. We fully deserved to go through with Barcelona. We were the best teams in a difficult group."
With this result, Barcelona top the group with 14 points, while Tottenham qualified with 9 points in second place for the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League.
